Extremity Retained (Live 1990)

[Intro]

Another new song

This one's called

This one's called "Extremity Retained"

[Verse 1]

You come to us and criticize

Without prior inspection

Judge us as a waste of time

An incorrect perception

[Verse 2]

Just a noise, your shallow view

An opinion I find misconstrued

There's probably more thought in what we do

Than a large part of what appeals to you

[Verse 3]

Why should we?

Why the need to justify?

Only in others' presence

Are you motivated to jeer and jibe

Everybody has the right

To opinionize

But to us your pettiness is used

To occupy your tiny minds

[Outro]

Extremity retained, never fall into your line

[Stage banter]

Shut up

Fucking shut up, you people you

Go ahead and go bye-byes

[Crowd chant]

You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you fat bastard …

[Stage banter]

Who? Which one?

[Stage banter: Shane Embury]

Well, as for, as for bein' a bastard

[Aside: Shane Embury]

It has a nice voice, in'it?

[Stage banter: Shane Embury]

Hello? As for bein' a bastard, I'm sure that Milton was my father; I'm quite positive of that one

As for bein' fat, well, slightly plump; I wouldn't say fat

[Stage banter: Barney Greenway?]

He may be a lit-, he may be a little overweight, one and a half stone overweight, but

But, calling you fucking fat, did he, man?

That's that same one over there fuckin' around

He's fat, he's short, and his dick's three inches, and he may a lit-, ey-oh!

He may be a little bit overweight, but the thing is

Can you do a Scott Carlson grind like Shane Embury can? No!
